An easy route on a good path with information boards about the mountain environment. Mainly in the forest, with lovely panoramic views of the Beaufortain massif and Mont Blanc.
REMINDER: our friends the dogs must be kept on a leash in the ski area, especially around Plan Bois and sled dog outings.
Start from "Chez Laurette" in Plan Bois
1/ The trail starts from the end of the asphalt road. An information board presents the route and what you will find along the way.
2/ From the information board, go behind the EDF block and continue to the right 3/ Join Les Frasses dirt road.
4/ After crossing the stream, bear left and follow the turns of the path as it climbs. The forest becomes less dense.
5/ Go left at the junction, cross the stream again (usually just a trickle of water) and you will arrive at the Chalets de la Follie.
6/ The path goes down and then turns sharply to the right to reach the plateau at Plan Bois.
7/ Go down to the left and you will come back to the starting point in 5 minutes.
Access either on the road to Plan Bois or on Plan Bois chairlift in summer.
